Cambodian Sisters
by Michael Soo

Cambodia

Two sisters,
Two dirty dresses,
Too poor,
Too sad.

Two smiles,
Two defiant glare,
Two hearts beating,
Two life holding each other.

Because of your inspiration, Michael, I tried to do my own, Sisters, Image...but somewhere I got carried away in the PP...and I couldn't duplicate your skin tones. But then, the Challenges for me often serve as a motivation...I'll give it another shot tomorrow. Thanks again, Traveller

THE Michael Soo? I stopped at this image because of the subtle, almost glowing, colorazation in the the skin tones that add an extra pop to an already powerful image. I actually like this far better than your commerical work, though I am not sure that everyone will study this in the detail that I have. Thanks for posting this. Best Wishes, Traveller
